The largest place of mass slaughter was a place known as Jasenovac. Hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered at that place. There is NO scandal in the modern history of Europe that can surpass Jasenovac. All inquisitions of the Dark Ages, all St. Bartholomew's Nights of Catholic atrocities through the ages fade in comparison to the size and shocking nature of Jasenovac.

Despite the size of this scandal you probably never even heard of Jasenovac. The mighty Catholic Church and even mightier (self-labeled) "Democratic west" try to keep this truth from reaching you.

More than a thousand books exist on Jasenovac and other Catholic WWII places of massacre. Unfortunately, most all of these books are not translated to English. They are in Serbo-Croatian - the native language to Serbs, Croats and Bosnian Muslims. A few books are exceptions. Exclusive to this web site, we present excerpts from those books that are already in English and add a few more texts we translated ourselves.

Tremendous forces exist in the world for you NOT to know this. To protect ourselves we got explicit permissions to present the texts on this web site. Because the authors (mostly survivors of Ustasha atrocities themselves) insisted that THE TRUTH HAS TO BE KNOWN, they also gave us right to grant permission for anyone else on the web to re-post these texts. We are only asking of you two things: (1) Post the texts in their entirety, (2) put a link to this web site, to the web pages where you found them.

We would like to thank you for your interest in Jasenovac and other Catholic Croat perpetrated atrocities. We firmly believe that there is no chance for a better, decent future of this thing called Mankind, if there is no interest in Jasenovac.

Let the whole world know!

JASENOVAC SURVIVORS'
TESTIMONIES

Mr. Sadik Danon
Mr. Danon was only 18 years old when he was sent to Jasenovac in December, 1941. His only "guilt" was that he was born as a Jew. Mr. Danon was lucky that he escaped from the camp on September 12, 1942. Only in 1999 did he dare publish a book containing recollections on his imprisonment in this monstrous system of death camps. Having an unusual talent to express what is close to impossible to put in words, his book was awarded the first prize by the Association of Jewish Communities of Yugoslavia. It is the author's wish that portions of his book be presented on the web. He wants the world to know what kind of Hell on Earth Jasenovac was. Mr. Danon is still alive. He is a retired architect. He lives in Belgrade, Serbia.

Mr. Ilija Ivanović
Mr. Ivanović was only thirteen years old boy when he was sent to Jasenovac in July 1942 as Ustashas, the Nazi Croats, were cleansing huge swaths of majority Serb territories in Bosnia and Krajina. He survived Jasenovac for the next thousand days. He was one of the lucky few of the last handful (around one thousand) survivors who decided to bare-handedly attack their Nazi Ustasha captors and try to escape. Only around 80 of those were able to break through - to live and tell. Mr. Ivanović felt a strong obligation toward the hundreds of thousands of those who perished in Jasenovac to tell their story. He dared publish a book with his testimony only in 1988, eight years after Communist ruller, Croat Tito died. In the summer of 2002, Dr. Wanda Scindley organized translation and published Mr. Ivanović's book. Mr. Ivanović lives today in Republika Srpska, the Serbian part of Bosnia.

Mr. Borislav Ševa
Mr. Ševa is another rare survivor of Jasenovac. We found and translated his eyewitness account in Lazar Lukajić's book "Friars and Ustashas Are Slaughtering". Mr. Lukajić interviewed Mr. Ševa in June 1999. Mr. Ševa was a barber in Jasenovac and had access to many of its parts. As such he saw Ustasha burning men, women and children - alive - in a brick oven. He saw Ustashas roasting a live Serb on a spit. He saw them cooking body parts and making a soap... and much more. Mr. Ševa's narration style is plain, but the events he witnessed and survived are so shocking that it suffices to give the reader an incredible glimpse into the horrors described.

... MUCH MORE TO COME ...

The truth belongs to us all.
